Exotic Ink

[ra9una]

Hi there, so to start let me say I've looked at the previous posts about choosing ink before asking but I figured this would help me decide.

Right now I'm using Lamy black but once I run out I want something really different but truth be told though I have researched ink but I don't know.....anything about the different one's available.

color wise I think a violitish/reddish black....or something else I'm open to suggestions.

Aside from the color I would like something original, I've herd of scented ink? Is that a real think?

Anyhow you get the picture, So name the ink you find most exotic please and I'm sure I'll find something I like, thanks.

Hi,

 

I consider R&K Scabiosa to be unique, in terms of colour and shading and dryness.

 

Please take a look at the Ink Review Forum for more info & written samples.

 

Bye,

Diamine Eclipse. I'll post an enlargement of a recent scan I did, which shows the violet/purple 'tinge' quite nicely.

You might like to look into the De Atramantis line. They have some wonderful scented inks (coffee, vanilla, orchid, and more). They are sold at Art Brown Pen store. Not the cheapest but really really unusual. I have not tried it yet but I have a bottle coming to me in the mail. The vanilla is a dark purple color. Pretty neat. www.artbrown.com. I hear they are coming to Goulet Pens as well.

I don't know where in Canada you're located, but Laywine's in Toronto carries some great De Atramentis inks.
